Billy's Place is a special Place for kids and families to connect with one another and learn the tools to heal after the death of a significant person in their life. Billy's Place brings comfort and companionship to kids and families experiencing grief - no matter where they are on their journey. We help families rediscover moments of happiness, without guilt. We nurture these moments as signs of hope for more promising days ahead. We see people for who they are - people with complex and beautiful identities beyond grief. We don't see widows or kids who have lost a parent, we see emily, and jack, and billy. We see people like US. Billy's Place feels like home for kids and families experiencing grief - where they can be their most honest selves, surrounded by a community of support. We are not clinical, rather we are remarkably ordinary. We welcome all kids and families who have experienced the loss of someone special to find community and free peer support at Billy's Place.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
